“The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.” - Fourth President of the United States, James Madison
At our next regularly scheduled meeting: We'll continue with Reliable Research and Information with a guest speaker who makes it his job to know more about candidates than they know about themselves . . .
1.) Last Call for Sweatshirt Designs: If you have a sweatshirt design idea, you can submit it via this form. Here are some past designs for inspiration. Designs must be Y-appropriate and should assume that we'll only have ONE color of printing on our shirts. We'll take submissions through Wednesday (10/14) at 12 noon.
2.) Vice Presidential Debate Watching Activity: If you watched last week's Vice Presidential Debate and jotted down notes on this form - keep it handy so you can help decide the topic of our current events discussion this week.
3.)Thanks for watching S'moresfest! If you missed the live stream on Saturday, you can see our Y&G highlight reel here or the entire event here. S'moresfest supports our Y-Assist fund that ensures everyone who wants to participate in our YMCA programs - like Y&G! - can do so regardless of financial means. You can support our efforts here.
4.) More on Media Literacy: Please Read the article, “Stop Trusting Viral Videos” and view this news clip prior to our next meeting. Make sure you've watched the Media Literacy Webinar if you didn't attend live (linked below).
